"A
great photo happens when a photographer sees a situation unfolding in
front of them that evokes an emotion that the photographer feels deep
down, in the middle of their chest. And in a split second,
they then make a conscience choice of exposure, lens, depth of field,
lighting, body language, composition, etc., and releases the shutter.
The film is then processed, scanned, laid out on a page, printed on
a press, driven across town to the newspaper carrier who throws it on
some guy's porch, who then opens the newspaper and looks down at that
photo ... And if that guy gets the same feeling deep down in the middle
of his chest that the photographer did when they viewed the situation
in the first place, the photographer has made a great photo."
